A driver ment for enclosure use will need an enclosure to perform. If you run it IB in most cases there will be little to no output and you risk damaging the driver. While active is the best way to get the max sound out of a setup, using DIY drivers can be tricky. People think you can just slap anything in the door and it will sound great. Really what it comes down to is you can build a sweet active setup for very little money but in order to take advantage of it you have to put more into the install ( sealed kicks/ door panels, placement, tuning ect). If you dont know how to do glass work to make the proper enclosure for these drivers you will be left at the mercy of a local installer which will charge you ALOT of cash for this kind of work. If you can do this yourself then go for it.
